Welcome to Nelson Research Lab

Professor Nelson’s research interests are organic materials, C-H functionalization, green chemistry, Melanins, and organic semiconductors. His research focuses on the design and synthesis of organic materials via green methods such as green solvent usage, C-H functionalization, and solvent-free techniques like high-speed ball-milled reactions. His research program covers the design and synthesis of organic semiconductors, polymer chemistry, supramolecular materials, green chemistry, and the development of bioinspired materials, organic electronics, biosensors, and bioelectronics. His current research interest emphasizes the development of new bioinspired organic semiconductors based on the natural pigment, Eumelanin.
